First Time April Visitation Stipend
Emory University now provides travel assistance for a limited number of Regular Decision admitted students who meet specific guidelines and wish to visit campus for the first time in the month of April. Students who have completed their Financial Aid application requirements by April 1, 2008 will be reviewed individually for this exciting opportunity. A student’s travel reimbursement will be determined solely by the need demonstrated in his / her financial aid application. Please note that these reimbursement funds are available in limited amounts for those who qualify on a first come, first served basis.

Please provide the student’s full name and home address to Erik Lips at erik.lips@emory.edu. We will partner with the Office of Financial Aid to review each inquiry for reimbursement eligibility, and we will respond accordingly.
